My Take
Sam Burgess fascinates me because he refused to be defined by a single code, crossing between rugby league and rugby union when most players stay in their lane. That kind of versatility takes both physical courage and an adaptable mind. Now leading the Warrington Wolves as head coach, he's making the hardest transition of all, from doing it himself to teaching others. I tend to trust coaches who have lived the brutal physical reality of the sport, because they understand the fear and the toll firsthand. Burgess strikes me as exactly that kind of leader, forged in the contact zone.
